Through March 13. When Plus Gallery closed its longtime LoDo location last year, Denver’s art scene took a hit. The gallery, run by Ivar Zeile, was an important player in the contemporary landscape, giving talented artists a handsome place to show and sell. Unfortunately, the sleek space got lost in the high-stakes shuffle of downtown real estate. This weekend, Plus makes a comeback, though in a fresh form, as a guest at Abend Gallery on Colfax Avenue. Zeile will show a new artist, Nick Musaelian. The exhibit, “From Ass to Skunk,” showcases the painter’s usual, representational takes on contemporary life, simple on the exterior, though loaded with mysterious references to everything from Nietzsche to Playmobil toys. Through March 13, Abend Gallery, 2260 E. Colfax Ave. 303-355-0950 or abendgallery.com.
